The most exciting of all BMW premiere remains, of course, the new S 1000 RR unveiled with more power and, for the first time, with a wide range of M Performance parts ready to go.

But the changes made to the R 1250 are not to be neglected either, especially because they do essentially come down to one important thing: more power.

All three models in the lineup - R 1250 R, R 1250 RS, and R 1250 GS Adventure – have been revised to provide more power, while at the same time keeping all the features that made the boxer-engined machines a hit over the past decades.

All three versions now boast engines capable of developing 136 hp and 143 Nm of torque, up from the 125 hp and 125 Nm of torque on the previous version. The increase in power was made possible thanks to the fact that capacity of the engine grew as well, from 1,170 cc to 1,254 cc.

All bikes in the range come as standard with two riding modes, Automatic Stability Control, and Hill Start Control. As optional equipment, BMW Motorrad will offer the Riding Modes Pro suite of technologies.

Also as standard, the bike maker will give customers a 6.5-inch full-color TFT screen that works in conjunction with the BMW Motorrad Multi-Controller. This allows the rider access to vehicle and connectivity functions.

As for color choices, the 2019 models will come with one basic finish and two style variants each, with one optional color also available. Prices for the revised range have not yet been announced.
